Ooops! With "old" I meant "lower-than-200 MHz and less-than-64 MB"...

Butbutbut... you can't do any system-level stuff with Flash. The only thing 
you _can_ do is fill the memory and/or slow down the machine. As far as I 
know...

... which reminds me: anyone knowing how that Flash virus worked? The whole 
existence of that kind of virus is a big mystery to me: You can't write on 
client's hard disk with Flash. Is there a security hole or something?

Microsoft: I agree. Macromedia: No problems, so far. Nullsoft: Dunno. Only 
minor problems so far.

When it comes to usability, Winamp still is the best mp3 player choice on 
Wintel-side. Or are there any thinkable alternatives? I hated the user 
interfaces in Sonique, K-j�fol and XMPlay.

Because I get the butter on my bread for doing Flash stuff, I really can't 
give any objective comments on this... ;) I've been bought by Macromedia!
